Hymns of Thayumanavar

One Thought (4/9)

Seeking position, power and pelf
You are constant running about.
And like the dog that strays into the monastery,
You are perplexed, driven from post to pillar.

Now you are caught! Come hither!
Do not be scared away by the foolish heart.
Here is the place where nondesire abideth ever.
In this land, if you stand firm in your object,
All worlds will throng to you and obey your commands.
Those who stood thus were
Sanaka and the rest of beings holy.
Do Thou, who art bound, kike the elephant in mast,
Strive, so the fetters of your
Pasas are unshackled fast!
